ABOUT THE BOOK

From the book, The Angel's Mistake, Stories of Chelm, by Francine Prose, paintings by Mark Podwal. There has never been another town like Chelm. The people who lived there thought they knew everything. But did they? There are many hilarious stories about this city where only fools lived. And this is the story about how it all began. (Text copyright 1997 by Francine Prose; Illustrations copyright 1997 by Mark Podwal.)

The Angel of Love, carried his pouch of love beads tightly, as he directed himself towards the sad, lonely,hungry children. He was so sure he knew where they were hiding!!!

The two angels are flying high above the rooftops. Angels fly so high in the sky-even higher than birds. The picture makes me wonder what the angels will do next. I'd love to fly with them and do good deeds for people.

Double trouble. These two angels, enjoying a leisure flight, have a mission to distribute the intelligent and fools' souls evenly throughout the land-when all the foolish souls are dropped by mistake over the city of Chelm. Like humans, these angels' carelessness affected others. Using colored pencils and gouache, the illustrator really made this picture come to life.
